Air Europa expands Boeing Dreamliner order

Air Europa has increased its investment in Dreamliner long-haul aircraft.

In a major $3.5 billion investment in new aircraft announced in 2015 the target was for 22 Dreamliner aircraft to be delivered by 2022 – this has now been increased to 27 Dreamliners by 2022.

In the first phase of the fleet rejuvenation eight Dreamliner 787-8 aircraft were delivered.

The second fleet phase commenced in February 2018 with the arrival of the first two Boeing 787-9, with a further five now set to be delivered between April and December 2019, and a further twelve aircraft introduced progressively between 2020 and 2022.

The Boeing 787-9, like the 787-8, combines a comfortable interior with an exceptional environmental performance.
